Looking ahead: It is with great joy that you are invited to the
Baptism of Connor, Albert, and Melissa, the Bunker children, on Sunday, November 25th, the Sunday following
Thanksgiving. Their baptism will also be the celebration of their formal
adoption by Kathy and Alan. We want to let you know, so that you might plan
accordingly. Please be present to part of the congregation as we pledge our
support to these three remarkable children (and their parents) and welcome them
"into the household of God!"
Yikes! Our annual Boughs & Bonbons Christmas Fair is
only a little more than a month away – Saturday, Dec. 1st. This year, the committee is hoping to enlist
the help of “many hands” to prepare the decorations for the approximately 60
wreaths that are such a popular part of our Fair. On
Monday, November 5th at 7:00 pm there will be a decorations prep
party at the church (to include dessert/coffee). And, since wreath decorations are fairly
pricey, we are hoping that you can bring “no-longer-being-used” embellishments
you have on hand as well as any natural materials (pinecones, acorns, branches, mosses,
lichens, etc) that you might find in your backyard or on a walk through the
woods. This should be a fun way to get
us in the holiday spirit. Hope you can
join us. ~The Christmas Fair Committee~
Please contact co-chairs
Lynne Clough (323-7046) or Patti Rau (367-8223) with questions or offers of help. Let’s make this Boughs & Bonbons the best
ever!
Celebrating and thanking Bishop Gene Robinson. The ticket reservation deadline has been extended.

Food for thought from Lynne
Twist’s book, The Soul of Money
A reflection on the experience of sufficiency by the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore…
I lived on the shady side of the road
and watched my neighbors’ gardens across the way reveling in the sunshine,
I felt I was poor,
and from door to door went with my hunger.
The more they gave me
from their careless abundance,the more I became aware of my beggar’s bowl.
Till one morning I awoke from my sleep
at the sudden opening of my door,and you came and asked for alms.
In despair I broke the lid of my chest open
and was startled into findingmy own wealth.
